Have you ever done good things for people who pay you with evil or will not even recognize your generous gesture? Have you helped people gain stands that they did not appreciate you afterwards and treated you with contempt? Worry not for so it was done to our master the Lord Jesus Christ. Isa 53:4 says “Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.” NIV. Again John 1:10-11 tells us that “He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.” NIV
Brethren, it may be that painful and disheartening but be encouraged in the words of the Hymnist in MHB 89:
Go labour on! Tis not for naught
Thine earthy loss is heavenlygain;
Men heed thee, love thee, praise thee not;
The Master praises: what are men?
